A lot of people ask if there is a difference between POSSUM and OPPOSSUM or if one is just short for the other. Well....there is. The American possums are actually called opossums, with the O in front - scientific name, Didelphimorphia. In Australia they have an animal called a possum - with no O in front scientific name, Phalangeridae. Both are marsupials, but other than that, they are not really related at all. They also look very different. The Australian possum has large eyes and a cute look to it, while the American opossum has pointy teeth and a sharper look to it.

Randy is a little more awake in this video, playing with some toys in the pond! Some of you have asked in the past if the bears have toys, yes they do - many different ones!

They are so gleeful! Racing around, stretching their legs. They love it out there! So glad they are finally big enough to go out - and yes, all five are out there!

Our latest little charges. They all came in within the last week. Three came in together and one was solo, but was small enough to put with them. Little ones like this are a lot of work for Susan. They all have to eat every few hours when this young. So far, they are all doing very well. And yes, these are baby squirrels....
